Topic: jupiter 8v2 beta.... (Read 11259 times)

so far I've encountered no bugs and it sounds enormous with the new volume increase, love the sound map feature as well, I've already come with a number of awesome sounds by accident haha as Im not 100% familiar with it yet. the only thing is that this thing is still the biggest cpu hog I've ever encountered, some patches I can only play a few notes at time till its pushed to the limit. wish you guys would find some way to bring this down a bit. granted my machine is a few years old. intel core2 duo 1.66Ghz with 2G ram. Im curious to find out if other users with much more powerful systems are running into the same problems ?? any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

The beta v2 is a little more cpu intensive than v1.1.1 on my MacBookPro, but I'm still below 20% most of the time. I think I have found a few things that are not quite 'finished' yet in the beta version, but hey! that's what beta testers are for! I'm really enjoying this too.

Good news about standalone however, its running and it sounds much better than the previous version. I find that it sounds even better at 88.2k as opposed to the lower rates due to a smoother tone. I have read that some VI's and Plugins run at a higher rate even when in lower sample rates and thereby have an advantage in their sound, the issue then is the increased CPU load. As we know the Jupiter 8 V2 runs quite hot, especially when running at these higher rates.

As we are seeing the trend continue, the more improvements there are with quality the more CPU top heavy the applications will be. As frustrating as it is, take this as a sign of things to come. When considering a new machine, take into account you will want something that will handle a load much higher than even what is standard today, thereby, hopefully, making your investment last longer.

Oki, so the AU in Logic 9 does not load (as a few others have said). In stand alone mode it appears to work ok. As someone said, it's much LOUDER which is nice. One thing I have noticed is that the fonts change depending on what you select. Unless there is some significance in this which I'm unaware of? Also, one thing that would be nice. Say you have a patch selected, and then click All - Type - EFx for example. And choose an Efx. It never updates the patch. You always have to go and manually select one. It would be nice if each group had a default patch instead of having to select one. Anyway, that's only me being lazy

This feature has not been implemented in this 2.0 version, especially for time reasons. Functional but quite unpolished, it would have taken too much days in development (you know the last 10% details that take 90% of the time...) and would have seriously delayed the release.So for the time being we keep it up our sleeve for future versions.

I was really looking forward to the J8V2...but I was disappointed. Since Version 1.1.1. many Presets sound different, especially when using cross-mod. Compare the preset "jmbCrossBass" and you hear a big differnce. The effects are also different now (distortion sounds dull)....How could that be? Or am I hallucinating?

I't still a BETA (you know what BETA means?). Report all your bugs to the link in the Beta-Test-Area. It should help to get a better release version.

Is it really so, that other than brass-vst owners can't upgrade to v2 for free?

what?! where did you get this info?? I hope this isn't true....I just bought jupiter 8v a few months ago, the fact it is a free upgrade was major factor in my purchase...otherwise I would've waited for the upgrade. can somebody confirm if this is true?

That info was on the beta test area, but now it has been changed, that everyone who have registered, can get it, when released.
